Magnets made with Vintage Earrings.

I have a great idea on how to recycle old vintage earrings.  I will share one way each day for the next couple of days.  Today, I will show you how to turn an earring into a cute fridge magnet.  My daughter likes this idea so much, she wants to make a bunch of them for her locker!

Here are the supplies you'll need:  an earring, jewelry/metal glue and small magnets.
 Remove the back of the earring with wire cutters.  Smooth the cut with sandpaper if the cut is real sharp.
Put glue on the back of the magnet and then spread it around with a toothpick to make sure the entire surface of the magnet is covered.
Press the glue side of the magnet onto the back of the earring.

When the magnet is completely dry, it's ready to use!
